Patrick Forsyth

Biography

Patrick Forsyth has worked for many years as a business consultant and management trainer. Linked to this he is the author of more than fifty business and management, personal development, self-help and career books (for example, Successful time management and How to write reports and proposals, both published by Kogan Page.

In recent years his writing has expanded into broader areas. He has had a humorous book published about miscommunication, Empty when half full, described by one reviewer as “hilarious”. In addition, he has had short stories published and also writes about writing for Writing Magazine for which he also pens a monthly column.

He first travelled to South East Asia some thirty years ago, and has visited regularly – especially to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand - for both work and holidays every year since. His travels have produced two further published books: Beguiling Burma and Smile because it happened about Thailand (both are published by ReThink Press).

He lives in the United Kingdom, in Maldon in Essex, where he writes looking out over the River Blackwater.

Fed up with the strenuous process of travel: the slow queues, the delays, the crowds and the extreme discomfort of the average economy airline seat? The author in this case, decided it was time to do something about this. He arranged a trip designed to be the antidote to the routine travel misery - and booked a trip travelling only first class.
